Answer to Problem 6STP

Number of printer cartridges is $64$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Table is

Boxes	Printer Cartridges
1	16
2	32
3	48
4	x

Calculation:

Table is given as

Boxes	Printer Cartridges
1	16
2	32
3	48
4	x

Let the number of printer cartridges be $x$

In order to make sure that the proportional relationship is maintained,

$\frac{1}{16}=\frac{4}{x}$

On solving the above proportional,

$\begin{array}{l}1\times x=4\times 16\\ x=64\end{array}$

Hence, number of printer cartridges is $64$

Correct option is J
